Around town, your mileage should be about the same. On the highway, it may decrease a bit. But, I've seen mileage go up with deeper gears. On the interstate, you may see a decrease in mileage. On normal highways(60-65), some engines run more efficient at the increased rpm and get better mileage. If you drive up and down hills, you can also see an increase in mileage since your car won't kick down into 3rd as easy or unlock the torque converter as easy.
